Celebrating Amy Goldman Fowler (with Stephen Scanniello and Brad Jalbert) for their dedication to preserving global plant diversity, we’ll begin with cocktails in the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden (which will be in peak bloom!) followed by dinner and a program in the gorgeous Garden Terrace Room.

Payton Hobart (Ben Platt), a wealthy student from Santa Barbara, California, has known since age seven that he’s going to be President of the United States. But first, he’ll have to navigate the most treacherous political landscape of all: Saint Sebastian High School. To get elected Student Body President, secure a spot at Harvard, and stay on his singular path to success, Payton will have to outsmart his ruthless classmates without sacrificing his own morality and carefully crafted image. Full of dark comedy and sly satire, Ryan Murphy’s The Politician offers a rare glimpse into just what it takes to make a politician.
